Newmarket next for O'Brien's Cool Cat

One Cool Cat will head straight for the 2000 Guineas – for which he is a red-hot favourite – after emerging triumphant from what was arguably the two-year-old showdown of the year so far at the Curragh yesterday.

Aidan O’Brien’s charge produced a stunning late burst to swamp his rivals in the Dunnes Stores National Stakes with Mark Johnston’s highly-rated British raider Pearl Of Love left in his wake.
